Sammanfattning
A 34-year old woman was admitted with pain in the upper right abdomen. The tentative diagnosis was gall stones, but none of the paraclinical results supported this diagnosis. A chest x-ray showed a completely white right lung. A later computertomography showed a colon-loop in the thorax and haemo-/pneumothorax. The patient's condition deteriorated, a life-treatening state of sepsis developed and she was transferred to a surgery facility where an incarcerated congenital diaphragmatic hernia was established. After surgery she was discharged with a temporary ostomy, but otherwise feeling well.
